So I'm a bit confused about the whole situation, and hopefully someone can clear it up.

Before they were published, I was under the impression that:Dixit 3 was for Europe, and it had a few cards that weren't going to make it into JourneyDixit: Journey was a new base game for the US, and it would have a few reprints from older sets to entice new purchasers to buy the old sets. However, these cards would 'push out' 2 or 3 of the Dixit 3 cards, making importing a set of D3 necessary for those who want all the cards.

Then, Asmodee Special Cards were released. Did the disconnect between D3 and D:J not happen, and instead those cards have been released as this special set? So if I purchase D:J and the Asmodee special cards, I'll have all of them?

A follow up question I have is, why did all of this mixed up mess happen in the first place?

There's no mess for the US version, the release of Dixit Journey was in May and it was already in our intention to release the 3 promo cards later in 2012.

Hey Stefan,

Thanks for jumping in to clear this up. However, can you definitively clear it up for me, please:

If I purchase Dixit: Journey (with the Dragon promo) and the BGG promo cards, will I have every card that will be released between Dixit: Journey and Dixit 3? Or are there other card(s) I'll be missing?

As long as there are promos that are not readily available for everyone of your fans, I would call it a mess.

Besides: In Sweden you can buy both Dixit 3 and Dixit Journey without problem. If you check http://www.prisjakt.nu/produkt.php?p=1285431 you will notice that Dixit Journey is called "Dixit 4" and that none of the shops selling it informs you that the cards are the same as in Dixit 3. There is no way for me to know how many Dixit fans that have bought (or will buy) both of these, but I know I would have, had I not read this particular thread. So yes, I would most certainly call it a mess. Not necessarily one you created, but a mess non the less.
